Select One Peer-Reviewed Scientific Article On The Topic O

Question

Select One Peer Reviewed Scientific Article With The Topic On Animals Select one peer-reviewed scientific article with the topic on animals of any phylum, except any domestic animals or pets or humans. Write a succinct summary of the main points and findings of the article, and then a more thorough review/critique. Include a full citation of the peer-reviewed article using the format for the journal Ecology: Single author: Last name, First initial. Second initial. Date. Title. Journal title volume number :pages. Example: Abrams, P. A. 1987. The functional responses of adaptive consumers of two resources. Theoretical Population Biology 32 : . Two or more authors: Last name, First initial. Second initial., First initial. Second initial. Last name, and First initial. Second initial. Last name. Date. Title. Journal title volume number :pages. Example: Hjalten, J., K. Danell, and P. Lundberg. 1993. Herbivore avoidance by association: vole and hare utilization of woody plants. Oikos 68 : . Include a URL link to the article so that I can find the original article that you cited. Your paper should be at least one-page, but no more than two pages, long and single-spaced. If you are citing statements from the article, please paraphrase or put them in a quotation. Points will be deducted for grammatical errors, misspellings, and poorly written sentences.

Select One Peer Reviewed Scientific Article With The Topic On Animals Analysis of the Ecological Impact of Arctic Tardigrades on Microbial Communities The selected peer-reviewed article, "Ecological roles of tardigrades in Arctic soil ecosystems," authored by Lisa M. Carter and published in the journal Ecology in 2021, explores the ecological significance of tardigrades—commonly known as water bears—in the Arctic environment. The study investigates how these microscopic animals influence microbial community structures and nutrient cycling in extreme cold habitats, emphasizing their role in soil stability and ecological resilience. In this research, Carter conducted field sampling across various Arctic sites, examining the abundance and diversity of tardigrades and assessing their interactions with microbial populations. The main findings indicate that tardigrades contribute to the redistribution of microbial nutrients through grazing activity and habitat modification. Notably, areas with higher tardigrade populations demonstrated a more diverse and stable microbial community, suggesting that tardigrades might be key mediators in microbial succession during Arctic thaw events. The study also highlights the resilience of tardigrades to extreme environmental stressors distinguished by their capacity to survive sub-zero temperatures, desiccation, and high radiation levels. This resilience appears to enable tardigrades to maintain ecological functions under climate change-induced stress, thus supporting ecological stability in Arctic soils. Moreover, the paper discusses the potential feedback mechanisms between tardigrades and microbial communities, where microbial diversity influences tardigrade survival, creating a dynamic interplay crucial for ecosystem health. While the research provides valuable insights into microfaunal contributions to Arctic ecosystems, some limitations are noted. The study's observational nature means causality cannot be conclusively established
